I can, and do, work with anyone
I'm not in the partisan politics business. In fact, the more desperate the need and estranged the person or government (such as Communism, for example) the more I advocate for the Holy Spirit to create communication and movement. A single candidate or political party cannot destroy the fabric of society or make irredeemable decisions without the collusion of the people. For example, who cares if abortion is legal if not a single person ever wanted one? A president, the congress, a court or an agency can create a loathsome law, but who enables them to create that law? If the people continue to live individually moral and self informed lives it almost does not matter what an individual or group does. Too many people think that pulling the lever in the election booth hands over to the candidate all responsibility for where the country goes from here. The dangerous people are those who seek to remove God from the public square or worse, those who think they are divine. Once a person removes from his or her self the boundaries on their ego that is in place when one recognizes God, the higher power, then there is indeed no constraint upon even their most "well intentioned" actions, since they have put blinders upon themselves even more than a horse, who at least still recognizes he is still a horse.
